Radhika Khera and actor Shekhar Suman joined the BJP at its New Delhi headquarters on Tuesday in the presence BJP national general secretary Vinod Tawde and media department in-charge Anil Baluni.
Former Congress leader Radhika Khera, who recently quit the grand-old party over alleged harassment and abuse by its top leaders, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday along with actor Shekhar Suman.
Khera, the former national coordinator of the Congress’s media department, resigned from the party’s primary membership on Sunday, days after her altercation with another leader at the party’s Chhattisgarh office.
In her resignation letter to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Khera also alleged she was facing opposition in the party and was being “punished” for visiting the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
On Monday, Khera alleged she was abused and harassed by Chhattisgarh Congress leaders who she claimed, locked her in a room and verbally berated her. The Rajasthan Congress leader claimed she had narrated the ordeal to senior Congress leaders Bhupesh Baghel, Pawan Khera, Sachin Pilot, and other, but they did not lift a finger.
